====Notes====
The word ''daut'' has an irregular plural. In Badul, plurals end in ''-an'' but this word's plural ends in a ''u''. This dates back to Ucerian, where nouns with the -u stem had the accusative singular plural suffix of ''-u''. For some reason it took over its nominative counterpart ''-ae''. It kept this old plural construction due to its high usage. Even when the regular plural suffix changed, it was still kept and using the new plural suffix didn't feel correct.
